This is a great slider what works with Gutenberg editor. Although the settings are not done within the editor, I like the fact that they are managed under a separate space under the admin left column tab. When there are many settings to deal with, Gutenberg editor does not provide adequate space to work. There’s good amount of settings allowing you to customize the slider design with flexibility. And the best part is that this is all free. The author is not attempting to up sale you with blatant banners, buttons, and popups in the admin screen like many others do. Thank you for the great work.

I’m very happy with this easy going and clear coding lightweight plugin. Making slides with information in a short time and without any previous knowledge makes this plugin one of my favorites. Thanks guys ! Keep on 🙂

I’ve wanted a simple slider that works in a post and this is it! No frills, no tutorials to study, just pick your images, get your short-code and bam! You have a slider that you can post anywhere. I have The Revolution Slider Plugin 6.0, and that’s an amazing piece of software, but I write time-sensitive content, and I have to get it out quick, and MaxSlider lets me do that. I’ve also tried other basic sliders, but they had conflicts with other scripts, MaxSlider just works.
